Abstract

В изобретении предлагается способ определения местоположения и высоты разрыва в подземной формации с использованием испускающего нейтроны (нейтронного) скважинного зонда для каротажа. Способ предусматривает получение набора данных до разрыва, разрыв пласта с использованием суспензии, которая содержит расклинивающий наполнитель, меченный имеющим высокое сечение захвата тепловых нейтронов материалом, получение набора данных после разрыва, сравнение набора данных до разрыва с набором данных после разрыва, чтобы определить местоположение расклинивающего наполнителя, и сопоставление местоположения расклинивающего наполнителя с глубиной измерения в стволе скважины, чтобы определить местоположение и высоту разрыва. В случае использования PNC зонда, также можно определить, находится ли расклинивающий наполнитель в разрыве, в стволе скважины поблизости от разрыва или там и здесь. Способ также может предусматривать проведение множества процедур каротажа после разрыва, используемых для определения различных характеристик разрыва и дебита пласта.The invention provides a method for determining the location and height of a fracture in a subterranean formation using a neutron emitting (neutron) downhole logging tool. The method includes obtaining a pre-fracture dataset, fracturing a formation using a slurry that contains a proppant labeled with a material having a high thermal neutron capture cross-section, obtaining a post-fracture dataset, comparing a pre-fracture dataset with a post-fracture dataset to locate the proppant , and correlating the location of the proppant with the depth measurement in the wellbore to determine the location and height of the fracture. In the case of a PNC probe, it is also possible to determine if the proppant is in the fracture, in the wellbore close to the fracture, or here and there. The method may also include a plurality of post-fracture logging procedures used to determine various fracture characteristics and formation rates.
